Chapter Twenty-Three: A Shy Little Beauty
At noon the next day, Zeng Yihao had just taken the medicine bowl that his father had finished drinking back to the kitchen, when he heard a few gentle and rhythmic knocks on the courtyard door, and hurriedly opened the door.
Outside the door is standing a willow-waisted slender girl, like a narcissus white and clear face, the skin is as delicate as mutton fat, can not find the slightest flaw, but also because of shyness and faint charming pink; a pair of curved willow eyebrows are not described, small cherry lips are as delicate as Zhu, a pair of eyes are as clear as the water of the Tianshan Mountains, clear and flawless, after seeing Zeng Yihao's eyes first lit up, and then he showed a strong worry, and asked softly: "Brother Hao, I ...... I heard that you went to 'Hundred Deaths'......? Are you alright?"
The voice of concern is as clear and light as mountain spring water, moisturizing and cleansing people's hearts.
After asking, the girl lowered her eyes shyly, and her long, curved eyelashes added a bit of charm to her elegant eyes.
If Miss Yun last night was as delicate as a flower, then the girl in front of her was like Zou Ju and Pear Blossom in early autumn, clean and innocent.
Zeng Yihao's heart fluttered slightly, and when he smelled the natural quiet body fragrance and Rulan's breath on her body, he felt like flying clouds, and couldn't help but sniff a few more times.
This action was not obvious, but the sensitive girl still found it, and she was already shy, and she immediately hung her head in shame, and her cheeks suddenly turned red like a sunset, looking extremely delicate.
Zeng Yihao was even more intoxicated. In my previous life, I saw too many savage, spicy and confident beauties, but all women with a little posture are a little arrogant, which is as elegant and introverted as a girl.
This is the real classical beauty, a veritable hollow valley orchid!
This girl's name is Shu Huizhi, she lives on the street in front, she is a neighbor of the Zeng family, she is the same age as Zeng Yihao, but she is three months younger, has seven-grade qualifications, and is now a fifth-order Xuantu. His father was a middle-class blacksmith in the city's famous "Baobing" refining shop, with several apprentices, and his mother was a tailor, and the family's economy was slightly better than the current Zeng family.
Zeng Qingwu had saved Shu's father before, so the relationship between the two families was not bad, Zeng Yihao and Shu Huizhi were barely childhood sweethearts, and Zeng's father even jokingly said that he wanted to marry Shu Huizhi home as a daughter-in-law. It's a pity that although Zeng Yihao liked Shu Huizhi very much, he never dared to pursue it, and every time she came to the door, he handed over water and smirked twice. Although Shu's father was grateful to Zeng Qingwu for saving his life and did not object to the two of them, Shu's mother always did not give Zeng Yihao a good look, and every time she saw the two together, she would stink and try her best to call her daughter home.
After really enjoying it for a few seconds, Zeng Yihao must have been nervous: "Sister Zhi, I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Come in and sit!"
Shu Huizhi quickly raised her head in surprise, obviously surprised by Zeng Yihao's change, but immediately nodded happily: "Hmm!" stepped into the threshold, and asked softly, "Is it really okay?"
"It's really okay!" Zeng Yihao smiled and widened her heart, and suddenly felt that the entire courtyard, which was originally simple and cold, suddenly became bright and warm because of the appearance of the girl and this sincere caring greeting.
"Then, is Uncle Zeng's health better?" Shu Huizhi was obviously relieved and asked with concern.
"I just drank the medicine and stopped vomiting blood. Thank you for coming to see us!" Zeng Yihao stared greedily at her delicate face, and his voice unconsciously became gentle.
Shu Huizhi's face flushed, shyly avoiding his burning gaze, but there was a hint of pure and affectionate surprise between her eyebrows.
Glancing at this affectionate surprise with sharp eyes, Zeng Yihao suddenly perked up: "Huh? It seems that this girl is a little interesting to me before?"
In that case, take advantage of it!
Shu Huizhi walked past him shyly, entered the main house, and saluted Zeng Qingwu sitting on the chair in a soft but polite manner, and then explained that his father knew that Zeng Yihao had defeated Liu Yuan today, and specially set up a banquet at home to celebrate.
"It's just to defeat a Liu Tou, it's nothing, Sister Zhi, your family's economy is not well-off, so please Uncle Shu don't break the bank, and when my father heals the poison, it's not too late for us to celebrate together." Although he had the heart to spend more time with the beauties, Zeng Yihao didn't want to listen to Shu's mother's scolding of Huai with a gun and a stick, so he immediately refused tactfully before Zeng Qingwu could express his position.
"Well, Hao'er means, and I mean, Hui Zhi, we won't eat this meal, go back and thank your parents on my behalf. Zeng Qingwu also rarely agreed with his son's opinion.
"This ......" Shu Huizhi was a little embarrassed and disappointed at this time, but she was not good at words, and she didn't know what to say for a while, looking at Zeng Yihao and Zeng Qingwu, like a deer.
Zeng Yihao saw it in his eyes, suddenly felt pity, turned his eyes, and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll go with you to explain to Uncle Shu." "Anyway, the two families live closely, and they just talk, so I don't think Shu's mother will say anything.
Shu Huizhi's beautiful eyes lit up obviously, and Zeng Qingwu looked at the two of them, suddenly smiled, and waved his hand: "Go!
Shu Huizhi's pink face, which had just returned to normal, quickly floated a layer of charming redness, and she looked at Zeng Yihao happily, her shy and timid expression really made Zeng Yihao's heart flutter again, and he took the lead in stepping out of the door with a smile.
When she left Zeng Qingwu's sight and came to the courtyard, Shu Huizhi bit her delicate lip, stopped, and mustered up the courage to ask timidly and softly, "Brother Hao, are you ...... Are you mad at my mother?"
Listening to this tone and looking at this expression, Zeng Yihao's heart suddenly softened, and he unconsciously softened his voice: "What's the matter, it's just that I just came back from the mountains, I'm really tired, and my father has a poisonous injury that hasn't healed...... You'll have a chance in the future, right? Don't think about it. ”
This is not false, he just doesn't want to listen to Shu's mother's number, but he doesn't care about getting angry.
"Oh, then you have a good rest, as for Uncle Zeng's injury, don't be too nervous, I believe that Uncle Zeng's natural appearance will definitely be cured!" Shu Huizhi was immediately relieved, completely believed in this reasonable excuse, and then comforted very simply but seriously.
"Thank you! I also believe that my father will be fine. "If it is really Tang Haitao who is doing tricks in the medicine, as long as he changes the doctor, changes the medicine, and has enough money, Zeng Yihao really doesn't believe that he can't cure Zeng Qingwu's poisonous injuries. Of course, the care and affection of the beautiful woman made him feel more comfortable.
After hesitating for a moment, Shu Huizhi said again: "Brother Hao, my second cousin has become a sixth-order mystic disciple yesterday, and I plan to go to Tongbaofang in two days to try my luck, you ...... You are now a fourth-order Xuan disciple, if you can break through to the sixth order before the age of 20, you can also try Tongbaofang. ”
"Huh?" Zeng Yihao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but he didn't expect this ** to think so much about himself. The cousin in her mouth is called Xu Yulin, and he is the only one of the three sons of Shu's mother's brother who can practice martial arts, but he is only a nine-rank qualification, and he has been a fifth-order mystic disciple for many years, and he has not advanced an inch.
Seeing that he didn't squeak immediately, Shu Huizhi thought that he was hesitating and had no confidence, and said eagerly: "My father said that a sixth-order Xuan disciple under the age of 20 has five chances to apply for Tongbaofang Waifang, and I believe you will be able to do it!
Zeng Yihao looked at her again in surprise: "Do you really believe that I can enter Tongbaofang?"
Wasn't Zeng Yihao a cowardly person in the past, why would the little beauty have so much confidence in him?"
Shu Huizhi's face flushed: "My father and second cousin both said that Uncle Zeng is very powerful, and with his guidance, as long as you work hard, you will definitely do it." ”
Father Shu said this, Zeng Yihao was not surprised, but that Xu Yulin actually said the same, Zeng Yihao was surprised.
"It seems that you still have someone secretly appreciating you in the past! It's okay, you won't be alone in the future!" Zeng Yihao thought secretly and nodded slightly: "Okay, I remember." ”
............
There is no need to spend money on a treat, Shu's mother is naturally willing, and her attitude towards Zeng Yihao is also better, after Shu's father regretted a few times, he saw that Zeng Yihao was very persistent, so he just did it, and quietly stuffed two taels of silver to Zeng Yihao in private, saying that it was to buy medicine for Zeng Qingwu.
Although Zeng Yihao is not short of money now, he knows that if he resigns for too long and lets Shu's mother know, it will inevitably add trouble to Shu's father, so he blinked and took it with a smile, secretly thinking that he must repay this man who knows how to repay his kindness in the future.
It's just that as soon as he walked out of the small courtyard of the Shu family, Zeng Yihao heard Shu's mother's voice in his ears: "Count them as knowledgeable! I really think it would be great if he defeated Liu Yuan? If he can defeat Tang Shi, he will be really great!"
"How can you say that?" This was Shu's father's hurried voice: "Master Zeng used to be more powerful than Master Tang! And Xiao Hao has also grown, not only has his cultivation improved, but even his courage has increased, which is a good thing!"
"Hmph! Fourth-Order Xuantu is terrible? He has been staying in the third-order Xuantu for eight years, and he should have broken through a long time ago! If you want me to say, if he can break through to the fifth-order Xuanjie in half a year, it will be considered great!" Shu Mu not only did not reflect, but her voice was even louder: "I tell you, Hui Zhi can't marry him! Hui Zhi's appearance is one of the best in this city, how many young heroes want to marry, how many wealthy families want to accept? As far as their father and son's current cultivation is concerned, even if they marry Hui Zhi, how can they protect Hui Zhi for a lifetime? I don't want Hui Zhi to suffer in the future!"
"Hey, you can be reasonable! If Master Tang hadn't been poisoned, he would have broken through Master Xuan a long time ago!" Father Shu was a little helpless.
"Even if the surname Tang is not cultivated, it is still a nest, what is the ability of a man who can't even keep his wife? I don't care, anyway, you are not allowed to marry Hui Zhi to this kid! Instead of marrying Hui Zhi to the surname Zeng, it is better to marry the surname Tang, at least Tang Shi is now a Xuanshi, and his son's qualifications are also good, and he has to be valued by the Shaodong family of Huaixintang, and he will at least be a Xuanshi in the future. "Shu's mother has her own abacus.
"Impossible! Master Tang is so good to Master Zeng, it is impossible to let his son and Brother Hao come to rob Hui Zhi! This idea, you don't have to think about it, it won't work! Besides, Hui Zhi doesn't like Master Tang's son either!" Father Shu categorically denied it.
"Anyway, I won't agree to give her to Zeng Yihao! If you don't show affection, half a year later, I will send Hui Zhi to the Flying Dragon Martial Academy, with Hui Zhi's qualifications and surname, she will definitely be able to become a disciple of the outer sect, and take the opportunity to let Zeng Yihao retreat!"
